I want to sync iCloud contacts to google contacts, Is there a way?

I want to sync iCloud contacts to google contacts on a regular basis, Is there a way?

For a few reasons, I decided to use both services after thoroughly researching this same question about a year ago for myself.
I use iCloud for my "Top 20" or so contacts.   Advantage is that I can sync more phone #'s per contact and get a full screen photo when they call.
I use Google for everyone else.   And only the contacts in My Contacts group will get synched, so I can manage easily how many contacts are on my phone at any time.    Another advantage is that if iCloud ever goes down, or I lose my device, I can easily look up my contacts on a web browser (assuming Google is available 100% of the time)   If I move to another device down the road, all of my contacts can stay on Google.
My google contacts is setup as an exchange account, so updates are pushed to the device as well.   Another advantage to this is that I can "lookup" any contact on my google account that is not part of My Contacts right on the device at will.
The "Top 20" icloud contacts are also on Google, under its own group that doesn't sync with the device, just as a backup.

Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad?

Can anyone help with this?
Deleted duplicate contacts from icloud and want to sync updated contacts to iphone and ipad? Did it on icloud cause have duplicates on ipad and iphone also

Check icloud.com to be sure you contact list is correct there. If it is, just go to Settings>iCloud on your device and turn Contacts to On to sync the contacts to your device. If contacts are already set to On and you still see duplicates, you may be viewing a duplicate contact group in addition to the iCloud contacts. Open Contacts, tap Groups, then tap any groups other than iCloud to uncheck them, then tap Done. See if the duplicates are still there.

You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

I want to sync my contacts without duplicating them with OS 10.6.8

I have a problem. It seems that I cannot duplicate my contacts without duplicating them. What makes matters worse is that I am using OS 10.6.8, and the Icloud has never worked properly for me. I always wind up loosing the the ability to sync my calendar.
At this time, I cannot up grade my OS with incurring the loss of programs I use everyday for my business due to incompatability issues.
When ever I sync my contacts, they duplicate. I want to sync them, but I don't want to spend hours deleting the duplicates.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks so much!!
All best-

use Migration Assistant and everything would work. But it didn't transfer any of my applications.
Just to be clear - you said "Migration Assistant", but did you really use "Migration Assistant" or rather "Setup Assistant"? When setting up a new Mac, you will be prompted after installing the system to transfer your data - and that would be the Setup Assistant. if you first create your account, and then transfer, you will be using "Migration Assistant". The "Setup Assistant" is greatly preferable, since it will keep the identity of the user account.
But it didn't transfer any of my applications.
The Setup Assistant or Migration Asistant lets you choose what to transfer. DId you enable to transfer your applications?
Is your old mac a Power PC? If your applications are still PowerPC applications, they cannot run on a Mavericks system. Try to update as many of your applications as possible to universal binary versions, that can run on Intel macs, before you migrate them to your new Mac. Aperture 3.1.2 will not still not run on Mavericks, even if it is a univaersal binary, but if you get it transferred and installed on your new Mac, you can update it to 3.5.1.
And before transferring your Aperture library, repair it using the First Aid Tools. See the Aperture Release Notes http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2518

How do you sync iCloud (contact, calendar, task) to outlook 2011 for Mac? and how do you make seemless sync between iCloud to Outlook 2011 to Blackberry device or an iPad?

I have three device: Macbook Pro (OSX 10.7.5) for work; an iPad and a Blackberry for mobile. I used mail, iCal, and Address Book combine with mobileme (iCloud) to exchange data such as contact, calendar and task from my Mackbook Pro to my iPad but never to Blackberry. The problem is my boss was asking me to change to Outlook 2011 for Mac because some of the email that I sent from Mail did not appear in my client's Blackberry. So how do you sync iCloud (contact, calendar, task) to Outlook 2011 for Mac? and how do you make seemless sync between iCloud to Outlook 2011 to Blackberry device or an iPad?
Best regards,
W. Sasongko

Not being a Mac user, I cannot be sure, but with Windows, you make a setting to sync iCloud and other Windows contacts. There is probably a setting you need to make on the Mac.

Sync your old address book with the one on the iPod. You may have to import them into an intermediate address book like Google contacts since that can be done by importing a file you should be able to export for your address book. Without know your old address book that is all I can say.

When i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already. Then you will have two computers authorized. Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time. If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library. Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct. But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes.

TS4147 Ive deleted my contacts, is there a way to restore them from a back up??

Ive deleted my contacts, is there a way to restore them from a back up??

Welcome to the Apple Community Holly.
To restore from a back up made through iTunes, follow these instructions.
To restore from a back up made through iCloud, try the following:
The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs.
Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
Start the restore from iCloud back up.
Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
Wait for the time out confirmation.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn off contact syncing (keep contacts when prompted).
Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
Delete any iCloud contacts from iCloud.com on a computer.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and turn on contact syncing (merge contacts when prompted).
May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

B-rock, thanks for posting the above. I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\. When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message. I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
What am I doing wrong, can you help?
Thank you!
